This was a favourite short-drag shanty, used almost exclusively for hauling
aft the foresheet or sweating-up halyards to take in the slack—jobs that
called for a short pull but a good 'un. Well-known both to Briths and American
seamen on the Western Ocean run, it is first-cousin to the better-known
Haul Away, Joe.
The tune carries a whole anthology of verses, some decorous, others not.

Ewan MacColl sang Haul Away for Rosie
on his and A.L. Lloyd's Prestige album of 1962,
A Sailor's Garland.

Bob Roberts sang Haul Away Joe
in a recording made by Tony Engle on the Isle of Wight in August 1977
on his Topic album
Songs from the Sailing Barges.
An earlier recording made by Peter Kennedy in the 1950s was included in 1994
on the Saydisc anthology
Sea Songs and Shanties.

Bernard Wrigley sang Haul Away for Rosie
in 1974 on the Topic album
Sea Shanties.

John Spiers and Jon Boden recorded the shanty Haul Away,
flanked by the tunes Jiggery Pokerwork and Seven Stars
in 2003 for their Fellside duo album
Bellow.
They commented in their liner notes:

John wrote Jiggery Pokerwork
as a tribute to the melodeon he started on.
Haul Away
is a version of the ubiquitous shanty favoured by the aforementioned
Forest School Camps.
The Seven Stars
was learnt by John while playing for the Rogue Morris side in Oxford.
